תושב ירושלים חשוד בהצתת סוכה במתקפה על רקע גזעני

הערכה

A 52 year old Old City resident is suspected of burning a sukkah in central Jerusalem, with police citing racist motives. The investigation is complete, meaning prosecutors will soon decide whether to file charges. This case tests how Israeli authorities handle hate crimes against Jewish religious symbols, and whether the legal system treats arson with ideological intent as an aggravated offense.
